PRIVATE SOMMELIER TEAM EVENTS
Sommelier Team Offerings - all 90 minutes in length.
1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Blind Wine Tasting
A uniquely fun way to learn about wine! So subjective is the wine tasting process that only by blind tasting can a true assessment of a wine's style and quality be made. A blind tasting is a form of wine tasting in which the taster (you) attempts to evaluate and/or identify wines without knowing their identity. In this session our Sommelier will guide you on an exploration of wine aromas and flavours and then challenge you to put your newfound skills to the test. Once you have the experience of blind tasting your way through a flight of five wines, we will raise the stakes: the final challenge will involve a "double-blind" tasting, in which you will be unable to see even the colour of the wine. Beginners often make the best blind tasters! A prize will be awarded to the guest with the most accurate results!
$50.00 per person plus GST.
Cellaring Wine
Once bottled, wine continues to mature, so proper storage is essential to help it do so gracefully. A wine cellar may be humble or grand, large or small - this workshop will help you determine your cellar needs while explaining the basic factors to consider:
o Darkness o Vibration o Humidity
o Temperature o Racking o Organization
A tasting of carefully chosen Mission Hill library wines will serve to illustrate the merits of cellaring your favourite Okanagan vintages. At the conclusion of the class, each participant will take away a bottle of wine.
$60.00 per person plus GST.
From Barrel to Bottle
Be a winemaker for a few hours and create your own blend! This seminar makes a great team-building experiment as you must work together to create the best blended wine, even designing your own label. Our Sommelier will provide your group with an overview of the different blending grape varietals as well as the history, purpose, and types of wood used to ferment and age wines here at Mission Hill Family Estate. Guests will work in teams to create their own unique wine and label before being judged for taste, design and team work. Prizes are offered to the winning team, and everyone takes home some wine as a memento.
$60.00 per person plus GST.
To book your group, contact us at 250-768-6483 or tours@missionhillwinery.com.
